1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a positioning structure for a clipboard that is capable of positioning at least one positioning member in first and/or second covers based on requirement.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A conventional clipboard includes first and second covers to be closed together, and at least one retainer to retain the first and second covers together. The first and the second covers are made in two different molds respectively, thus increasing production cost.
Moreover, a paper or a catalog is placed in the clipboard, but the paper or the catalog can not be fixed in the clipboard securely.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a positioning structure for a clipboard that is capable of positioning at least one positioning member in first and/or second covers based on requirement.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a positioning structure for a clipboard of which first and second covers are integrally formed by using a mold to lower production cost.
To obtain the above objectives, a positioning structure for a clipboard provided by the present invention contains:
a first cover and a second cover, both of which are integrally formed by a mold and correspond to each other, with two grooves formed on a connection of the first and second covers to retain two retaining members respectively so that the clipboard is opened and closed; the first cover including two first recesses disposed on one side thereof, and the second cover including two second recesses fixed on one side thereof individually, with two retainers attached in the first and second recesses so that the first and second covers are locked together by using the retainers individually; the first cover also including a first slot disposed on another side thereof, a second slot fixed on one end side thereof, and a third slot formed on another end side thereof; the second cover also including a first notch disposed on another side thereof, a second notch fixed on one end side thereof, and a third notch formed on another end side thereof;
wherein each positioning member includes an integrally formed abutting block, an actuating section fixed thereon, a first inserting piece extending downward from a rear side of the abutting block, two inserting pieces attached on two sides of the first inserting piece individually, and a cutout formed on the first inserting piece.
The present invention will be clearer from the following description when viewed together with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustration only, the preferred embodiments in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to
As shown in
Furthermore, the positioning member 4.0 is capable of being engaged with or disengaged from the first, second, and third slots 31, 331, 341 of the first cover 11 and the first, second, and third notches 32, 33, 34 of the second cover 12 selectively.
In operation, as shown in
